I'm looking for a braid mainline to use , I drop bats from a boat so casting ability isn't an issue, I just want it to sink and be robust.. TIA ....

I've been using the Gardiner Hydro sink in 22lb but im very new to using a braided fishing main line and i've only had several trips out with it.
But so far so good.
Casts ok, sinks ok and seems strong and robust.

Gardner hydro sink 22lb as already said.

Or the noir is supposed to sink even better, but still on a container ship at the moment!

I have been impressed with Hydro sink in 22lb. But like all real sinking braids it doesn't cast brilliantly and is quite thick so don't think that it will be like a floating braid but sinking.

I've recently switched to the hydro sink after recommendations, used it the last 4/5 weeks and really like it. Has been faultless so far! Bit thick, but it sinks well, and proved very strong this morning in hit and hold snag fishing conditions.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
